Laura Karr fell in love with cooking even before she entered kindergarten, learning the basics by helping her family cater weddings. Years of cooking with her grandma taught her that there is nearly always a way to substitute and incorporate healthier ingredients into favorite recipes. After earning a B.A. in Psychology from the University of California at Irvine, she became an advertising copywriter, magazine writer, and then entered entertainment. The Can Opener Gourmet® is a happy blend of her love of both cooking and writing. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their son.
